The one-stop place for information about all things Smithsonian. The stunning Medieval architecture completely masks the fat that it is just an administrative building for the Smithsonian Institution. Hence, there are no exhibits here. However, there is a very cool small scale model of the city of Washington DC, the entire city's blueprint shown in models.
What's more interesting is the garden. It has some of the rarest flowers and plants from around all over the world.
Amazing network of museums! I loved what I was able to see, you definitely can't experience it all in one day. The exhibits and collections were awesome, I definitely want to go back and see more.
Personally think the exhibition could be better. But it surely served the purpose of explaining how Smithsonian was formed and developed throughout the years.

Great place to stop and catch your breath. Visitor center has helpful maps. Restrooms. Café. Braille display for the blind. Miniature display of DC helps one orient themselves. A beautiful historic building.
A beautiful place to come and see, as well as to learn about the Smithsonian institution. The castle offers beautiful architecture and sights with historic information every where you look. Also, they have a cafeteria which serves soups, salads, sandwiches and other items.
